The 29-year-old Gajownik was hired during the offseason as manager of the D-backs minor league affiliate Hillsboro Hops. She’ll be the first woman to manage a Class High-A team.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Ronnie Gajownik spent her Saturday afternoon as the bench coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks.“It was awesome,” Gajownik said later. “I didn't realize how big of a moment it was until told me in the fifth inning, he's like, ‘They’re doing articles all over about you. You're trending!'”Gajownik and D-backs manager Torey Lovullo sat next to each other in chairs just outside the dugout, talking for the better part of three hours.
“I’m just appreciating my time with her. She’s a spectacular teacher and can relate with the players very well,” he said. “It's cool to take a step back and realize how far women have come,” Gajownik said. “And then also, me personally as a coach, all the work I've put in myself and then all the work the Diamondbacks have put into me, my family, my friends, my wife. It's just cool to see the culmination of everything coming together. It's a cool moment.”
“Him and I think a little bit of the same way, in regards that you’ve really got to care for the person,” Gajownik said. “And just know that ‘Hey, I’ll have your back and where there are moments of the game where I need to fight for you, I’ll fight for you.’”
